U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit · Decided April 18, 1957 · Goodrich, Staley, Hastie
242 F.2d 760; 1957 U.S. App. LEXIS 4308 (Federal Reporter, Second Series)

Matter of August R. Gerecke, Bankrupt, August R. Gerecke

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

August R. Gerecke, bankrupt, appeals from a denial of a discharge by the district judge. The denial was based upon a finding that the bankrupt had made a knowingly false statement in a credit application which was relied upon in part by a creditor. The referee found that the bankrupt failed to sustain the burden of proof imposed upon him by the Bankruptcy Act, § 14, sub. c(3), 11 U.S.C.A. § 32, sub. c(3). The district court affirmed the referee. We not only do not find the conclusion clearly erroneous, but we agree with it.

The judgment of the district court will be affirmed.
